So who did Uncle Junior (the elderly lawyer) say hired the Pinkertons? was it him? he said something along the lines of "I owed Louis something". Is Louis the Commodore? and he did it to punish her for turning his house into a whorehouse?

it not, what?

Mine fits the opening perfectly!

That's a good question about why he hired them (I'm sure it was him... otherwise why would he have been there for that scene). I think it really comes down to his "old boys network allegiance". Not so much punishment for the whorehouse as trying to keep things in the control of men (or even boys).

Yes Louis is the Commodore, and IIRC Gillian suffocated him in his bed (not that she wasn't justified in doing so!), so between that and also killing the Commodore's son I suspect he felt that there was some payback due)

so he did it for his friend...good enough...

however, she slapped the crap out of him in bed (when he was still sick from the stroke) but did not kill him. Jimmy killed him in the living room (at her urging, but still...).

Also, she did not kill Jimmy...Nukky did that. And Uncle Junior knew she did not kill Jimmy and that the boy in the tub was someone else (he even hired the Pinkertons to prove it!).

So I agree with you that he did it for the Commodore. But the reasons you give were all wrong!
